Page 1: Introduction

AOpen was founded at the end of 1996 and has since then been busy with manufacturing hardware based on the latest technology, while the first XC Cube barebone came out in 2003. In this review we've tested one of its barebones for AMD's Socket 939 that comes with an integrated graphics circuit; a model known as EZ482.

AOpen has done a great job with its barebones, something you'll definitely find out if you take a look at AOpen's website and all of the awards that has been given to AOpen. There are tons of them that have been given by numerous hardware editors.

AOpen has many other models in the XC Cube family besides EZ482, 32 to be precise. This one is based on the ATi RS482 (northbridge) and IXPSB450 (southbridge) chipset. The fact that EZ482 comes with an integrated graphics circuit should make it a suitable HTPC.

We've taken the time to compare the EZ482 to another barebone we've reviewed earlier just to get a feel for how well it performs.
